[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sort of on topic but I scored a 95 on my test and then when my DC1 was born close to 10 pounds they did a glucose test on him every 4 hours for his first 24 hours of life just to "be sure" he was okay. His poor little heel had so many poke marks in it.

Good luck everyone with your tests and your pregnancies![/quote]

95 on a non-fasting 1 hour 50g glucose challenge is low, there is an upper and lower cut-off for GD test...not sure what the cut-off is off the top of my head.  If your levels are too low it is often indicative of diabetes as well.  You should have had a 3 hour test if you were at the lower bounds.  And a close to ten pound baby is nothing remarkable if his sugars are stable.  Just a big baby.  Did they tell you why they kept testing him?  Was it just because of his size?[/quote]

Hi. My sugars and the baby's sugars were perfectly fine but yes, Sibley insisted on testing him because of his size. He was a-ok but I guess it was just precautionary?[/quote]
